I am sick. Pastor John and I have been working on the floor in the fellowship hall for almost two weeks. I am give out. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, I need to go back in there and get busy now. I have burned the candle at both ends that I've made myself sick. We have to get the floor finished because wehttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~3/419862766/mixed-up-monday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rusty Posey)<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~4/419862766" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.rustyposey.com/2008/10/mixed-up-monday.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049619942659589572.post-7264003740538735198Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:00:00 +00002008-10-08T16:18:46.459-05:00O.K., I've had several ask me about who ended up winning the offering contest. Well, the boys were ahead in the Kid's Crusade offering contest heading into last Wednesday night. Several people dropped checks into the girl's offering and that pushed the girls ahead by about $170.00. So, I got the pie in the face. The nice people who made the pie decided that they wanted to put mustard underneath http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~3/415151901/pie-in-eye.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rusty Posey)<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~4/415151901" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.rustyposey.com/2008/10/pie-in-eye.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049619942659589572.post-5507095333553076765Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:59:00 +00002008-10-01T17:05:28.078-05:00We have had a great time at Kid's Crusade. Tonight, either Sasha or myself, will get a pie in the face because of an offering contest. The boys are winning now by $32. So, Sasha will get the pie in the face unless the girls can make that amount up tonight. So far, we have had 26 kids make decisions for Christ. It has been awesome. Darrell Wickert has done a great job ministering each night.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~3/408645304/what-you-missed-at-kids-crusade.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rusty Posey)<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~4/408645304" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.rustyposey.com/2008/10/what-you-missed-at-kids-crusade.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049619942659589572.post-6860872920591932402Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:16:00 +00002008-09-30T08:22:22.328-05:001.

Over the years, I met many Pastors/Leaders who have received hurtful anonymous notes. Have you noticed no one ever sends a "you're doing a great job" anonymous card or letter? Today, I received this forwarded anonymous note that was sent to a friend of Pastor John's. "Would you Please resign! Move on!

Our student ministry is awesome. Pastor John and his team hosted a Tailgate Party at the High School on Friday Night. He had over 100 students stop by and hang out. He had the Prinicipal of the school and some police officers stop by and thank them for what they were doing. They gave away free hamburgers and hot dogs. 2.

Mackenzie is doing better. We had to put her in the hospital for dehydration over the weekend. She got out on Sunday afternoon. 2. Tropical Storm Ike blew through the Atlanta area. Many people are still without power. We lost it about 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and didn't get it back until 4:20 p.m. 3. Mady loves when the power goes out. We played a board game.

As most, I remember the exact spot I was when I heard about the World Trade Center. The mood went from light hearted to somber in less than a second. As I watched hour after hour of newscast, my heart was hurting for those affected by this great tragedy.

After yesterday's journey with the pit bull pups, I arrived at the church today to find 5 big dogs sleeping by our front doors. It was not the door I normally go in. When I pulled up, they got up and walked away. One of them was the mom of the pups.

So, here is my pick to be playing in the Super Bowl in February. Representing the NFC is America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys. I know...it's a homer pick. However, these guys are good. The only shaky spot is the WR position. As long as TO stays healthy, the Cowboys will be a dominant force. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~3/383283983/super-bowl-prediction.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rusty Posey)<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~4/383283983" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.rustyposey.com/2008/09/super-bowl-prediction.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049619942659589572.post-289996461171285591Tue, 02 Sep 2008 22:13:00 +00002008-09-02T17:15:13.591-05:00There are a lot of people that read my blog outside the Atlanta area. I've had several people inquire about our well being. Really, all we have gotten in Atlanta is some rain and normal winds. They....whoever they is....say we're going to get the brunt tonight.

Gustav is heading towards Atlanta. They are predicting that the tropical storm will sit over the Ark-La-Tex for awhile. 2. I know some people pray for rain. However, I hope we don't get too much.

The excitement of a new season can be lost in one game. Thursday Night, I watched the Baylor/Wake game and was discouraged. Then, I didn't feel so bad after I saw that A&M lost to Arkansas State. Wow! Baylor had some bright spots..namely Freshman QB Robert Griffin III. The guy is lightning quick and has a great arm.

That's right.....football season is officially back. This is...without a doubt...my favorite time of the year. From High School to the Pros, I love watching football. Tonight, Baylor will play #24 Wake Forest on Fox Southwest. I will flip between that game and the Cowboys final preseason game. So, who do I cheer for?

Whether it is in the political realm, at a minister's meeting, in the community or at church, It sickens me the way people jockey for position to get their way.
